The Removal or Reduction of Duties There

The Removal or Reduction Of Duties There
on Suggested, Supported by Exhaustive
Argument.
The farmer or agriculturist who manu-
features nothing but who pays the increased
price which the tariff imposes upon every
agricultural implement, upon all he wears
and upon all he uses and owns, except the
increase of his flocks and herds and such
things as his husbandry produces from the
soil, is invited to aid in maintaining the
present situation; and he is told that high
duty on imported wool is necessary for those
who have sheep to shear, in order that the
price of their wool may by increased They,
of course, are not reminded that the farmer
who has no sheep is by this scheme obliged
in his purchases of clothing and wooden
goods. to pay tribute to his fellow farmer
as well as to the manufacturer and mer-
chant; nor is any mention made of the fact
that the sheep owners themselves and their
households must wear clothing and
use other articles manufactured from the
wool they sell at tariff prices, and thus
as consumers must return their shares
of this increased price of the tradesman.
think it may be fairly assumed that large
proportion of the sheep owned by the farm
ers throughout the country are found in
small f1ocks numbering from twenty-five TO
fifty. The duty OH the grade of imported
wool which these sheep yield is ten cents
each pound if of the value of thirty cents or
less, and twelve cents il of the value of more
than thirty cents. If the liberal es. innate of
six pounds be allowed for each fleece, the
duty thereon would be sixty or seventy two
cents, and this may be taken as the utmost
enhancement of its price to the farmer by
reason of this duty. Eighteen dollars would
thus represent The increased price of the
wool from twenty-five sheep and 1886 that
from the wool OF fifty sheep, and at present
values this addition would amount to about
one-third of its price. If upon its sale the
farmer receives this or less tariff profit, the
wool leaves his hands charged with precisely
that sum, which in all its changes will adj
